Strict SVO
אַנִי רָאַהָה אוֹתַּ — ani raʼaha ˈʔo.ta — ‘I see you’ (fused accusative pronoun).
Alternative analytic strategy: אַנִי רָאַהָה אֶת אַתַּ with אֶת + independent pronoun.
Negation: לֹא precedes the verb — אַנִי לֹא כָּתַבָה ‘I do not write’.
Copula in present
Predicative adjectives and nouns use zero copula in simple present clauses: הוּ טוֹב hu tov ‘She/he/it is good’.
